Newark, East (Barnett Shale)
Active permits (blue) and producing gas (red) and oil (green) wells in the Newark, East (Barnett Shale) field
Doesn't reach as far east as Plano. The Barnett Shale in the Fort Worth basin is limited by geological formations on its edges. Original "sweet spot" back in the late 90s was in Denton/Wise counties.
This is still mostly a Tarrant, Johnson, Wise, Denton county play, although drillers are testing the periphery. Fort Worth sits solidly atop it, but Dallas can only drool. DFW airport between the cities has made a killing.
